What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

I'm guessing that #2 was an engagement cake, and #3 was for a bachelor party. I was desperately hoping #1 wouldn't be at a wedding (talk about nightmares on the wedding night!) but when I look in the background I see what looks to be a candle and a flower. So....it probably was. I have seen some of these other wrecks before, and judging from the fancy backgrounds on others, they were at weddings, too. I'm not sure about #5, but if it was at a wedding, that takes trashy to a whole different level when you announce to all your new in-laws your lack of bedroom etiquette!

That video was adorable. Love the creative use of household objects. Now I'm subscribed to luieland!When will we know for sure which cakes are the 2 non-wedding? In a perfect world, none would have been served period. Alas, the world is not perfect but it's funny!

I'm going along with hoping that the semen and dog ones were not served at weddings. And I actually liked the "Left 4 Wed" one! Although it might have been nicer with a different color border... And that video is super adorable!

"Some of today's wrecks are not appropriate for kids."???Some of these wrecks aren't appropriate for HUMANS!Bloody Hell--what is wrong with--Oh, forget it. But nice variety...there's your Generally Tacky and Tasteless (for the guys, of course) with a little Gross and Vulgar tossed in just for fun! PAR-TAY!!!=^~.~^=p.s.: Oh, and that 5th one down? I don't believe it for a minute. Probably laughed his ass off!! (It had to have been hilarious, if you think about it.)(I can't believe these are *supposed* to be "professional" cakes...!) =^~.-^=

I think that ALL of the cakes are ugly!!! Especially the dead-deer, red-necky one.(Actually, the fondant-y one isn't horrible, but it looks like it has a stain on its side, unless it's a shadow from the toasting glasses.) ?But WOW--I would love to have that Goofy tee shirt! =^-.-^=

We've seen the sand castle/phallic cake before. Wasn't it for a birthday? And I'm pretty sure the dog was a groom's cake in another post. So that leaves a wide range of horror for what was actually served at a wedding. Like Kim, I hope the vagina cake was indeed served. That had to have been a great reception!

I find it hard to believe any of these cakes were served at a wedding! No matter how I try, I just can't seriously type this next sentence...I don't think the semen cake was served at a wedding. (IS there an appropriate occasion for semen cake?)The jury is still out on the rest of them, although I am praying that the freshly-balded Hagrid cake wasn't wedding material, that is truly ghastly.

I'm thinking the vagina cake is more of a proposal between two people with an awesome sense of humor and an inside understanding of the cake or from a person with absolutey no tact. The other non wedding/ grooms cake would have to be the semen one. My favorite part of that is the fact that the cake is black, like it's mourning the death of the relationship.Sendingtheclowns - I believe the mark on the fondant wedding cake is a shadow, as I have seen pics of these cakes without the mark. I think the subject (and maybe the size) of the grooms cake is the issue not the workmanship

I'm guessing (make that hoping) that #3 isn't sitting on the floor, but rather is on a tile countertop. That would make it a bit more sanitary. I'm having a hard time picturing anyone, even a group of guys, putting it on the floor, not due to sanitary concerns, but simply because that would make it harder to eat. Lord knows they wouldn't be caught dead having to bend all the way down to the floor to slice and eat it.

@mel:(" I think the subject (and maybe the size) of the grooms cake is the issue not the workmanship")----Silly me! How could I forget? A grooms cake is for guys, so of COURSE it's about the size! (And, of course, swapping recipes.)=^~.~^=

@Kate ("I love how someone placed a delicate orchid behind the horrifying bald head...") ------- I hadn't even noticed the orchid! It'd take more than just a pretty posie to "save" that monstrosity, but at least it's a nice touch.I also think that it's not so much a "horrifying bald head" as it is just plain horrifying. Because even WITH hair, it would still have, you know, that FACE.=^o.0^=

OH MY!!! When I saw cake three I thought "That would have been perfect for Johnny and Kendra (sister&bro-in-law) and when I saw cake four I thought "That would be perfect for Tim and Mike and Johnny's birthdays!!!" The rest are just really SICK!!!(and ot in a good way!) and the dog cake......I need the eye bleach after that....that's almost as bad as the dead baby cake a couple of weeks ago.....

Just so you know, the dog is UGA (pronounced "Ugga"), the mascot for the University of Georgia. My guess is that the groom went to another school in the SEC -- most likely Florida, Alabama, or South Carolina -- or possibly Georgia Tech. Some of them boys take their football purty dern serious down there.

I KNEW that baldy-head guy reminded me of something, and just realized what! There was a Clint Eastwood movie where a guy was buried up to his neck in the desert (instead of the dessert); it really creeped me out. anyone else remember that? I can't remember which movie it was, darn it. I don't generally like westerns, but I LOVE Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns, and the Ennio Morricone soundtracks! =^-.-^=

Thanks for the wonderful video. Splendidly sung, great sound effects, pretty singers. Sigh, that really helped clean the bits of dog entrail from my visual cortex. The other cakes are just tacky, but the dog is disgusting. Can you imagine eating that?

1) Decapitated Homer needs a shave, this head on lettuce is somewhat depraved. 2) Romance is dead? Well I’m here to tell ya, it’s alive and well in this ode to genitalia.3) He hunted high and low for the woman of his dreams and found the deer girl in front of plastic trees. 4) After the hunt a man wants a beer to cap off his night and end with some cheer. 5) Unfortunately alcohol sometimes gets things all loose, and the bride ends up with an eye full of man-juice.6) A big chaw of dip can sharpen your skills so you can play horseshoes in strawberry fields.7) Big loss of words for the eviscerated dog, but send me the baker and I’ll give him a flog.8) Back at the wedding the bride and groom were betrothed but hubby was MIA, out using the commode. 9) While a trio of badly frosted penis gazed out to the sea, the sound of the ocean whooshed in the shells at their feet.10) While all of these mishaps should have been Left for Dead, a horrific redemption was bestowed at the end……Thanks Jen.
